Does he ever win?
To continue the Blahfest, Leinart is a whiney little bitch. It was good to see him lose, I look forward to seeing him lose more in the NFL, where he will be an average QB at best. I see him as being a sort of a Hank of the NFL - the tools are there, but he makes questionable decisions.
No way I'd waste the first pick of the draft on Bush. The espn hype machine will cause him to be overpriced. Sure, he's a great talent, but quality running backs are cheap and plentiful in the NFL. How much more per year is Bush worth over, say, LenDale White (or Samkon Gado)?
No one who saw Young in last year's Rose Bowl vs. Michigan or this year against Ohio State would be surprised by his performance against USC. What strikes me is how elusive he is for such a large guy. At 6'5" and approaching 250 pounds, he presents a big target for tacklers, and yet they always seem to miss. Add that to his poise and his arm strength, and I'd be willing as an NFL team to work on his throwing mechanics and decision-making for a year while he develops.
